Sudah lame tak update~~~! I guess it's harder to maintain a blog once I start working (unless I'm part of the Blogger team) coz I am at the office half of the day looking at numbers, reading economic & compensation reports and thinking hardly how can I myself write a good, summarized economic report when I never even know how the cover of The Economist looks like and what Gross Domestic Product really means. Maybe I should quit the job. For the sake of my blog. Hahaha...hell no.

I need to change my hairstyle/cut! I've been having this permed hair for 8 months now, which is not very "Efa", considering how I usually do something with my hair every 4-5 months. I don't want this curly hair anymore, my hair looks so dry and frizzy now due to the amount of time I spend in the air-cond. I want my original straight hair back but cutting it will only shorten my hair which I do not want also. Straightening my hair is the last option to do coz I am out of budget and I don't want my hair to be super stick straight. I also want to dye my hair to a lighter color but again..no money. I'm such a pauper. I'm probably poorer than the poorest person in Malaysia right now, not having a single cent that is actually my own money.

Facebook is so cool! Add me! Add me!

I'm dead tired! And my back keeps aching these days if I sit for too long, thanks to me hating milk/cheese hence the lack of calcium. I have nothing intelligent to write today so I am just gonna wrap up my weekend activities.

My open house was successful. It rained in the late afternoon, so guests started coming nearing 3pm. I had 13 guests..I think, many of them are my Madison & 16FC friends. Some couldn't come but thanks to those who came to finish the food! My house was crowded till night with never ending guests, consisting of not only friends of my siblings and I but also friends of my parents and relatives from both sides..termasuklah my saudara-saudara tiri whom I didn't even have a chance to talk to because I was busy attending my friends from 2pm till about 7pm! Only after that that I have a chance to talk to my uncles and aunties. By around 10pm, even though there were still guests I was already crawling to bed because I was hella tired.

The next day, went to Meon's & Abg. Di's house to beraya. The previous day fatigue was still there but by the time I reached back home at night I had to go to JJ to buy new food for my fish. The next day, not having the chance to rest, I followed my mom to Ampang and later in the evening, drove back to Sepang to send my auntie and to Kajang to eat sate. Yesterday also was not so much rest as I have to follow my Dad picked up our Savvy, cleaned the fish tank only to break it(!) and had to go buy a new one. So stupid!

Today, my sister said she wanted to go watch Death Note at a cinema near our house. I definitely want to watch it but I don't know if I am up to the mood at the moment. Just very very tired....

P/S: I start working next week at Watson Wyatt Worldwide as an Analyst. So nervous...wish me luck!

My note on Hari Raya this year. Not too exciting. Firstly, I did not take any pictures. On first day of Raya, I ended up wearing my mom's baju kurung because I thought hers was nicer than mine. But the heat made the baju unbearable to wear all day long. Plus, I had to go to some distant relative houses whom I am not close to, nor I know anything about their whereabouts and our family relationship. There wasn't so many cousins or people whom I know that are around my age so I only have to play with my little cousins. The only good thing about the first day of Hari Raya was the delicious good food. On second day of Raya, my family jetted off to Langkawi while I drove back home to KL and spent the rest of the days till the weekend alone in my big house. Reason I didn't go to Langkawi: too complicated to explain. So for 3 days, I spent my days wandering around Mid Valley and JJ pointlessly alone, watching Raya shows and my dramas on TV all day long and for the first time, went to Ikea and The Curve.

I anticipate for the coming years my Hari Raya will be similar to this year. Visiting unfamiliar faces again. Playing with my little cousins again. Until when? I feel that I had much more fun celebrating Raya in the States. Whilst family members were not present, food is pretty much or less still the same. I got to gather with many friends, familiar faces, and I could talk, gossip and laugh with these people while eating. After all, company is what makes one celebration fun. What fun is there when I am all alone at home? And what fun is there if I went beraya to a house where I can merely sit at a corner drinking and waiting? What fun is there when I don't have anyone I can freely talk to about anything?

Aaahh...maybe I'm complaining too much just because I am pissed off that after 3 months coming back to Malaysia, I am still unable to secure a permanent job. It's so frustrating to wait for interview calls. And it is even more frustrating to have a string of interviews but no job calls. I felt like I excelled but until now...? Silence.
